Why do drunk people want to announce that they're drunk to everybody?

I'm out drinking with a friend and when conversation lags I want to tell all of my internet friends.

does anyone know what cable / adapter / whatever it may be, i need to connect a guitar lead into a macbook pro so i can record? assuming it must be usb or firewire as there's no longer a line-in port but i'm clueless

ran into yesterday by complete coincidence as savers. is it wack to introduce yourself if you aren't at a meet? couldn't pass up the opportunity, oops. i thought it was funny anyway, nice to meet ya.

[ASTROCHIMP]

Not wack at all. I'm just kind of a awkward person so I hope the conversation wasn't too uncomfortable for you. It was awesome meeting you though and super cool being recognised. Made me feel like an internet celebrity or something.

Hi Care-Tags! I've missed You! How are y'all?
I've turned 18, became a socialist, decided I want to study inorganic chemistry and got my license.
Question: how can I keep my beliefs (I really fuck with the ideals of socialism and truly believe in its message, which is hard in my conservative area; I've been harassed for being Hispanic, for speaking Spanish, for getting good grades and being an atheist, so I guess I'm the opposite of what they wanted me to be? Oh well) when my life has been completely dependent on capatialist systems? Is it wrong for me to want and enact change but can't vote because no candidates seriously represent my views? Or am I just being a hypocrite by saying I believe one thing but continuing to delude myself by still using the things and services that outright aren't the thing I believe?

[mahi-mahi]

Also I fucking love Hamilton.

every band i've heard playing at the RNC has sounded like a country version of nickelback with a saxophone solo

[_Organism]

speaking of bands playing at the rnc, http://gawker.com/gawker-goes-to-a-punk-show-1784015966 I live right outside Cleveland so I was at this wednesday night. You may even recognize my red cccp shirt in that second picture (smiling) (I'm also good friends with the guy in the "only good cop is a dead cop" shirt). It was a little 2radical4me but I liked having fireworks thrown at me

I was offered an internship at a guitar recording studio! I'm unbelievably excited for the near future! Next summer I'm going to South America for over a month as well! Keeping an eye on plane tickets now, unbelievably excited.

I just got back from a month of being a camp counselor at the overnight camp I used to go to. It was such a great experience and I'm so glad I got to see all my old friends and work with the kids I worked with. Overall great time I highly recommend it.

I spent four years as staff for a cubscout camp, incredible experience. One of the better summer jobs for young adults, I learned a lot of valuable skills there.

Just watched a woman in a Kia sorento with a baby on board sticker do a u turn across a double yellow on a truck route into the far right lane, immediately merge in front of me in the left lane without signalling, and then make a left, again across the double yellow, at an intersection with a "no left turns" sign, with oncoming traffic honking at her.

The most insane driver I've seen in my entire life

Stay safe everyone

Back when I wrestled in high school I ended up hurting my knee to the point where I couldn't wrestle anymore. Went to a sports orthopedist, got an MRI, the whole shebang, but never got everything really taken care of as it wasn't interfering with my daily life. This was six-ish years ago.

Recently I started exercising again, so I started with running. My knee was really acting up the point where after running just a mile it would start to hurt, and to the point where it was affecting the run. Figured it was related to my injury a while ago. An annual physical was long overdue about this time, I went a new doctor who recognized it could be something serious and she referred me to an orthopedist. X-rays were the first step which came back relatively normal. The orthopedist I went to ordered an MRI. In the meantime he thought it was either a torn meniscus or possibly early stages of osteoarthritis. The torn meniscus is what I was hoping for as my family as a history of arthritis. I am way too fuckin young for that!!! Especially in my knee!! Plus repairing a meniscus is super simple.

Last Friday I had my MRI. The doctor got back to me super quickly. Turns out, to my disappointment at the time, my meniscus is completely intact. I have damage to the articular cartilage along with subchondral edema (fluid buildup) due to trabecular microfractures (minute fractures near the surface of the knee bone). After searching google for subchondral edema, it seemed like almost everything I found was related to osteoarthritis. That plus my damaged cartilage had me freaking out. Of course arthritis is not fatal, but having it start out when I'm a quarter through my life is not exactly what I was hoping for.

This morning I met with a sports orthopedist/surgeon. She asked me what was up with my knee and I was explaining to her what the previous doctor's report was; she actually was super impressed I knew everything until I told her I just googled all the terms haha. Anyways, we reviewed my MRI. There's definitely fluid and small fractures, but it's NOT arthritis or anything related. After telling me that I was instantly beyond relieved it felt amazing. I will need surgery, though it's relatively simple. It's a matter of drilling small holes into the bone so that there is blood flow in that area and new fibrocartilage is formed. This is different than the damaged articular cartilage, but it will still help immensely. You can actually watch the procedure on youtube. I love the internet.

Unfortunately I'll need to put no weight on it for 4-6 weeks so the procedure will have to be during break. Gonna be a fun Christmas huh! After my appointment I met with one of the hospital's physical therapists who walked me through some exercises to build leg muscles, especially around the knee.

Anyways, this has been something I was worrying about and I'm in a great mood now, so I wanted to share. Thanks for listening!

e; Thinking back, for such a simple thing I don't understand why the original orthopedist gave me a torn meniscus or OA... Like it was one or the other with no other options...

I saw Care-Tags AGM 2016 on my not-logged-in iPad. It’s as if bels had a tumblr, but put his posts into a web forum

Wow I'm really grateful for all the support it means a ton! You're all awesome :-) I've been doing a lot of leg exercises to build muscle gradually and I just ordered some hyaluronic acid supplements which should hopefully make a difference. If anyone is experiencing joint pain, skin problems, dry eyes, this is supposedly super helpful. I was reading some information on it this morning, it's a super important chemical in your body. Generally feeling very good about everything rn. Again, thanks everyone I appreciate it so much!!

Another random thought: you know those people who flip signs on street corners? Depending on the route I'd take to work I would see this dude dancing with it, really having fun even in the unbearable heat. If I stopped at an intersection I would always dance with him in my car and we'd wave at each other. Probably saw him 15-20 times, but it's been a while. He seemed like a really cool guy I wonder how he's doing now. Hopefully he has a better job that doesn't require him to stand under the beating sun for so long.
